Video of the alleged rape of Palestinian prisoner at Sde Temain went viral last year. Now the prosecutor who leaked it has quit. The Israeli military's top lawyer, Major-General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, has resigned after admitting to leaking footage showing the gang rape of a prisoner at the Sde Temain prison facility in August last year. The video of the rape had originally been leaked to the press in early August in the midst of a right-wing backlash following the arrest of a number of soldiers for the rape of a Palestinian prisoner.

It's not uncommon in Israel today for a young man in his early 20s to be spotted on the streets with an amputated leg or serious wound. More than 500 Israeli soldiers have survived serious injuries fighting in Gaza, according to the military. Many of them endured catastrophic wounds that would have killed or maimed them in Israel's past wars, Israeli combat medics and surgeons say.

"It is horrifying what Israel is doing, what the State of Israel is doing, that's why I am here, we got to try to stop it. They have no strategy, no goal what should come after, and there are all the casualties, hundreds of soldiers that got killed, and every other day another soldier is killed, and I am not even talking about the hostages,"

Hamas has said that none of the 21 people killed in an Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital was a member of the Palestinian movement, after the Israeli military claimed it had targeted a Hamas surveillance camera and killed six fighters in its attack on the medical facility. In a statement reported by the Reuters news agency on Wednesday, Hamas challenged the Israeli government's account that claimed to name six fighters killed in the attack, which has drawn global condemnation for targeting journalists, medics, rescue workers and civilians.
